This Weeks RASFF Alerts.

Posted on April 24, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Yet again the number of RASFF alerts is low around 50% less than normal, Salmonella accounting for almost half of the total of alerts which includes non-microbiological alerts. Have a guess which country and product accounted for most of the Salmonella’s!

Good to see that Sesame Seeds and Brazilian Black Pepper have made a Salmonella comeback after being absent last week.

Listeria was present in Smoked Fish last week and to complement that alerts Listeria present in a Raw Milk Cheese this week so no surprise there.

Why are people still buying Chicken products from Poland???
